Re: [LAU] Distributions kernels'n stuff

Just to say: I agree. The only way to get a kernel perfectly suited to
your needs is to compile your own - and it's actually very easy. I would
say pretty much any distro which supports compiling your own kernel can
be used for pro audio, if you apply the relevant tweaks.

Have you considered running two kernels and selecting from them at boot?
Then you can have a super streamlined audio kernel and a more
general-purpose kernel for web browsing / running your wireless card etc.
